Listing the stuff you want to be in /S/V in the UnmanagedFiles file
should get you the same result.

This was an idea since some programs want to install files into a /var
location. If I point it to R/Unmanaged (to have it create the files
correctly) the program might want to write to that directory while
running.
How would one configure a program so it writes to /S/Variable during
runtime, but the files get installed into R/Unmanaged?


Isn't this exactly what unionfs can solve?

Yes, unionsandbox solves this, but should we count (demand) that everyone has unionfs available?

It would be best if there where a working solution for fibosandbox too, but is that possible? I've not followed the development on gobolinux for a couple of months so I'm not sure what the current status of fibo vs unionfs are... I remember we talked about moving to a whole new layout, with programs thinking that they are installing in /System/Links while they actually are redirected to /Programs/Name/Version, and that /System/Links would be renamed to /System/Index and that all the dirs "Executables, Shared, Libraries, Headers" should be replaced with the "real" names: bin, shared, lib, include, to exactly mirror the layout underneath the /Programs...

What are the problems demanding on unionfs? Isn't unionfs available for the supported kernels?

Ironically, I haven't got the unionsandbox to work on this box, but that could be because this system is a messy mixture between 011, 012 and 013... =) Could anyone give me a hint on how to try out the unionsandbox? I don't even remember how to enable it.
